LOCATION:
Situated close to the well-known Clifton landmarks of Christ Church and Brunel's iconic Suspendion Bridge, this development is well placed for those who want to be independent but within easy reach of shops and the general hubbub of Clifton Village life. The building, a Grade 2 Listed church conversion, is mostly made up of flats for the over-sixties, which are sold at a preferential rate to ensure that everyone, not just the area's landed gentry, can afford to live in this prestigious locality.

GENERAL:

Tenure
Leasehold (lease expires in 2161), subject to an annual rent charge of £25 (Land Registry states that this figure may rise to £75 over time).

Service Charge
A service charge of £264.54 per month covers the costs of buildings insurance, water rates, any remedial works required to the building and its communal areas, communal electricity (including the lift), provision of a 24-hour emergency call system, the services of a visiting estate manager, use of the laundry, maintenance of the heating system, weekly cleaning of communal areas, external window cleaning, and replacement of doors and windows in the flat if needed.

Resale Charge
We understand that, upon the resale of the flats in Guardian Court, a resale charge is levied equivalent to 1.5% of the price that the flat was bought for, multiplied by the number of years' ownership.

Council Tax Band
Band B (£1824.08 per annum 2023/24).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on April 23, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on April 23, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
